Trailblazing Princesses Redefine Saudi Fashion with Apoa Jewelry

Princesses Noura, Mashael, and Sara Al Saud: A Trio of Visionaries

The proverbial saying, "Too many cooks spoil the broth," could not be further from the truth for the founders of Apoa. Princesses Noura, Mashael, and Sara Al Saud have seamlessly combined their individual styles and tastes to create a cohesive and captivating brand. "We're three founders, we have three different styles and tastes, but at the same time it's quite coherent," says Mashael, the youngest princess and self-proclaimed "most fashionable" of the trio.Despite their diverse preferences, the princesses share a common vision – to push the boundaries of fashion and challenge stereotypes. "I think what brings us all together is that we have a style that's adventurous and veers toward fashion more than playing it safe," say Sara and Noura. The sisters' collaborative spirit and mutual respect for one another's contributions have been instrumental in shaping the Apoa brand.

Apoa: Bridging Saudi Heritage and Global Style

Born in the heart of Riyadh, Apoa draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia, blending it with a modern sensibility. "We wanted to have something that wasn't mainstream, but also represented who we are," explains Mashael. The brand's signature pieces, such as the "Ardh" collection, are artistic interpretations of the Saudi landscape and architecture, infusing the designs with a unique and captivating essence.While the region plays a significant role in the foundation of Apoa, the brand is setting a global benchmark in fashion jewelry. "A lot of people don't even know about the heritage and the culture that we have. People are just starting to see the beauty in our land, the culture, and everything that we're able to offer, and Apoa gets to be a part of that narrative," says Sara, expressing her pride in the brand's ability to showcase the richness of Saudi culture.

Pushing Boundaries: Apoa's Innovative Approach to Fashion Jewelry

Apoa's foray into the realm of fashion jewelry has been a strategic move, filling a gap in the market. "In the GCC, Saudi, and the Middle East, there are a lot of fine jewelry brands, varying from high to everyday fine jewelry, but there weren't really any fashion accessory brands," explains Noura, the business-savvy princess. By considering price ranges and maintaining the same quality, Apoa has positioned itself as a competitive player in the fashion jewelry landscape.The brand's innovative approach extends beyond its product offerings. Apoa's design process involves a collaborative effort between the three princesses and a team of designers across Barcelona and Riyadh, with manufacturing taking place in Italy. This multicultural collaboration has resulted in bold, organic, and whimsical designs that cater to a diverse audience.

Catering to Diverse Tastes: Apoa's Multifaceted Design Philosophy

Apoa's design philosophy is rooted in the understanding that not everyone shares the same tastes. "That's the benefit of having three people's input," shares Mashael. "And that's a good thing because not everyone has the exact same tastes as I do. In the end it works out really well because we cater to an even larger audience than if it were just one of us."The brand's collections, which they prefer to call "chapters," showcase this diversity. From the avant-garde and eccentric to the minimalist and timeless, Apoa's designs cater to a wide range of preferences. The princesses' commitment to exploring different design approaches, such as maximalism and sculptural pieces, has allowed them to appeal to a broader customer base.

Craftsmanship and Wearability: The Hallmarks of Apoa Jewelry

Apoa's dedication to craftsmanship and wearability is evident in its use of innovative techniques like electroforming. This process allows the brand to create organic, lightweight, and bold designs that prioritize comfort without sacrificing style. "Electroforming" enables Apoa to play with imperfection, creating a sense of movement and depth in their jewelry.The brand's attention to detail and design choices, such as the use of darker crystals and raw metal edges, further enhance the high-fashion appeal of Apoa's pieces. "It allows for a feeling of movement, which is important in jewelry," explains Sara. "We also love working with darker crystals, particularly dark gray, so it's not just your regular Swarovski crystal, it's very unexpected and breaks the monotony."With a focus on quality, innovation, and a deep appreciation for Saudi heritage, Princesses Noura, Mashael, and Sara Al Saud are redefining the fashion jewelry landscape through their brand, Apoa. By bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, they are captivating audiences worldwide and paving the way for a new era of Saudi fashion.
